"By the way, where is your home? Is it close to Takeishi?" Wudao found a comfortable position and lay back on the recliner, looking at Rukawa Kaede on the court and asked.
Don’t mention it, it’s quite comfortable lying down, and Wudao kind of doesn’t want to get up.
The training in the morning was very intense and it was already late. Wudou planned to save some energy for practicing judo in the evening. He didn't know how Fujima Shinichi would train him, so it was always good to save some energy.
"It's in the suburbs, about 20 minutes by bike to Takeishi Junior High School." Rukawa Kaede was talking to Takeshi while shooting the ball. He was a man of few words, but he didn't have communication problems, so he had no problem chatting with Takeshi.
"Suburban area? The junior high school closer to your home seems to be Fuqiu, right? How long does it take you to ride to Fuqiu?"
When Wu Dao went for a night run in the evening, he got a pretty good idea of the situation in the city. He knew the approximate geographical location of Fuqiu Middle School and had been to the suburbs once or twice. There were actually very few residents there and not many houses, but most of the houses in that area were Western-style villas, and the family conditions of the people living there were pretty good.
"More than ten minutes." Rukawa Kaede answered briefly.
"Hey, Rukawa Kaede, how about coming to Takeishi Junior High School from your junior high school? Anyway, going to Fuqiu and coming to Takeishi are about the same distance. A few extra minutes of travel can be considered as exercise."
"The basketball team at Takeishi Junior High School is pretty good. I heard that our coach, Anzai Masayoshi, was a national player in the past and he's pretty good at training."
"If you come, you will definitely become very strong."
Wu Dao suggested with a smile on his face. Takeishi Middle School is a famous private middle school with very strict admissions requirements, but those conditions are definitely not a problem for Rukawa Kaede.
In terms of ability, Rukawa's basketball skills are almost invincible among his peers. At least there is no better elementary school student in Kanagawa Prefecture now. In terms of money, Rukawa was a man wearing AJ shoes and Sony headphones in high school, and his family's financial conditions were definitely not bad.
Wu Dao still very much hopes to play in the game with Rukawa Kaede. After all, there are very few people he is familiar with in this world, and Rukawa Kaede in front of him is one of them.
"It's too early to say that."
"But I'll consider it."
"Aren't you playing ball today?"
Rukawa shook his head, then looked at Wudao. Seeing that Wudao was lying comfortably on the recliner with no intention of getting up, he couldn't help but ask.
"Forget it today. The training in the morning was a bit heavy."
"I have judo practice tonight. Today is the first day of class, and I want to save some energy to make a good impression on my new teacher."
Wu Dao waved his hand and said.
The setting sun shone on the court, stretching Rukawa Kaede's shadow very long. The evening breeze had already become a little cool, blowing away the afternoon heat, blowing on the body, it was quite comfortable. Wudao spread his hands flat on the backrest of the recliner, blowing the soft evening breeze, and squinting his eyes comfortably.
Looking at Rukawa Kaede practicing basketball in the sunset, Wudao suddenly felt an indescribable sense of comfort and ease.
Rukawa didn't talk to Wudao anymore and just practiced shooting by himself. Wudao looked at the young man sweating in the sunset, and after a long time, his heart moved slightly.
"Let me pass the ball to you." Wu Dao was finally infected by Rukawa's hard work, and he stood up and shouted at Rukawa.
"Why are you suddenly practicing judo?" When Rukawa saw Wudao walking into the court to pass the ball to him, a faint smile finally appeared on his cold face.
Although there was only a slight change in Rukawa's expression, his mood was much better. Rukawa, in a good mood, couldn't help but talk more. He was a little curious about the matter of martial arts practicing judo, and couldn't help asking.
Rukawa Kaede only has basketball and becoming stronger in his mind. He doesn't care about other messy things. In his mind, a talented person like Budo should focus on basketball.
"You don't understand. Basketball is a competitive sport after all, and physical fitness is very important."
"My judo teacher is a strong man, and I want to have the same physique as him."
Budou explained to Rukawa Kaede with an understanding look on his face.
"Physical strength..." Rukawa didn't know whether he heard it or not. After that, he stopped talking and kept catching the ball and shooting.
Wu Dao stood under the basket and kept passing the ball. As time passed, the last red light in the sky was also collected by the clouds, and stars appeared in the dim sky.
"I have to go, Rukawa Kaede."
Wudao looked up at the sky, passed the ball and said to Rukawa.
"Yeah." Rukawa hummed softly and threw the basketball he had just picked up. Wudao walked to the sidelines, put on his backpack, and walked towards the entrance of the court. Rukawa was still practicing shooting and had no intention of leaving.
"You're really working hard! I can't let my guard down. If I'm a year older than this guy and still not as good as him, it would be a joke."
Before leaving, Wudao looked back at Rukawa Kaede, muttered something, and left the court.
...
In the corridor of the residential area, a white Lincoln City was parked in the middle of the road. A tall middle-aged man in a black suit stood next to the passenger seat, facing a house on the side. In front and behind the Lincoln, there was a black Land Rover, sandwiching the Lincoln in the middle, forming a guard.
In the corridor leading to the courtyard next to the three cars, several young men and women were busy coming in and out, stuffing something into the trunks of two Land Rovers.
"Be careful, these things are very expensive!"
"Use all the bubble pads you prepared and fill the gaps between the gifts with bubble pads."
At the gate of the yard, there was an old man in his sixties, directing the men and women who were carrying goods.
The old man has a tuft of gray goatee, a bald head without a single strand of hair, a thin body, a black and white kimono on his upper body, wooden clogs on his feet, and a red cane in his hands, as if he is an ancient man from the Edo period. He is out of tune with the modern houses and vehicles around him.
Although the old man's face looked weather-beaten and covered with deep wrinkles, his posture was straight, not hunched at all. His eyes were deep and bright, without any of the turbidity of old age. Just standing there, he exuded a majestic aura.
"What's going on?"
Wu Dao had just returned from the park and saw from a distance that the entrance to his house was surrounded by three luxury cars. Confused, Wu Dao approached and saw that the door of his house was open, and many people were coming in and out, seemingly moving something. There was also a familiar old man standing in front of the door, shouting and yelling, looking very crazy.
Wu Dao was just about to step forward and ask the other party what he was doing when he suddenly saw his parents coming out of the house and walking up to the old man. The couple lowered their heads and looked respectful.
"You two are so ignorant! Who is Fujima Shinichi? The best judo master in Japan!"
"He wants to accept Wu Dao as his disciple, how can we not show any sign of support?"
"If you do this, it will make our Jinguji clan appear very rude!"
When the old man saw Wu Gong and his wife coming out of the house, he scolded them without any hesitation. Wu Dao, who was far away, saw this scene and then he remembered that this crazy old man seemed to be his grandfather? !
"There is a bright future in martial arts! Being able to have Fujima Shinichi as a master, our Jinguji family may also be able to produce a top judo master."
"This kid is much more promising than you two!"
"I never thought that I would be so blessed that my grandson could fulfill my unfulfilled dream!"
"Judo~hahaha!"
After the old man scolded the Wu Gong couple for a few words, he started laughing for no apparent reason. His originally serious face was now full of smiles, and his eyes were filled with anticipation.
